Welcome to the official GReddy USA blog. -Think of this as our online weekly "GReddy Times," a venue for us to report what's going on or what just happened at GReddy USA this week (new products, new projects, racing news, even online store specials.) On our blog you can see what we are up to in the GReddy Sales floor, R&D garage, on the road or even from our Headquarters in Japan.

After some late night adjustments, the team was feeling pretty confident for Friday qualifying sessions. In Ken's 1st qualifying run, he scored a solid but conservative 83pts and was looking forward to going more aggressive in the 2nd Qualifying run. But in the next run, he went too aggressive and initiated his drift a little too early. This ended up bending a wheel and lower control arm on the rumble strip. This meant Ken would have to stick with the score of 83, placing the team in the 2nd half of the brackets and drawing a tough Top 32 battle with Justin Pawlak, the winner of Rd.1.

In Top32 eliminations, Ken drove hard, with good Hankook tire smoke, but was unable to advance to the next round. JTP and his Mustang eventually went on to also win Rd.2. It was a tough day for the team, but we look forward to improving in Rd.3 Palm Beach, FL early next month. - June 1-2 (Don't forget to follow us during the next race weekend for more #GReddyRaceOffers on ShopGReddy.com)

Congratulations to our Scion Racing Team mate, Fedric Aasbo and the Need for Speed / Papadakis Racing Scion tC on their 2nd place finish in Rd.2
